Sunshine and Rainbows Blog Tag

I thank Selina @Selina’s garden of thoughts for appreciating and nominating me to this tag.

Rules:

• Thank the blogger who tagged you

• Share the badge and rules in your post

• Answer the tag’s 5 questions

• Tag 5-10 bloggers whose blogs you love reading!

• Include a custom message to your nominees about why you tagged them

Her questions:

1. What is one of the most awkward moments you’ve ever experienced?

Oh there are so many. It’s like, as if my life is a series of awkward moments separated by snacks 😂. On my school sports day, I fainted in a 800m running race finale competition. The weather was too hot and I had no stamina to run. It was so embarrassing because I was representing my yellow house team and as soon as I fainted, the whole cheering went down with disappointment. Then all my friends and some teachers came to help me to get up. It was very awkward. After that incident, I became the hot topic for a week and some random small kid even cheered me up like “You did your best on that day sister”. 🙈

2. If you could turn back time to fix one of your major mistakes, where would you go?

Making a decision here is difficult because I have lot of regrets. Probably I’ll go back to my school days and apologize to that one guy for not being so friendly with him. I want to say at least ‘Thanks’. He was a good friend of mine, made me smile and feel comfortable but I never got any chance to say this to him.

3. Is there anything you’re really proud of in the room you are in right now?

Yes, my paris canva painting that is hunging in the wall right now.

I mostly write blog posts in my mobile and make the final changes using laptop.

Spend some time with yourself. Follow your instinct and try to find a solution. You’ll definitely find a way out.
